THE IRWINS

• They found Vinnie through the Carolla show.
• Once the family watched the Fat Docs, they were all in.
• While they’ve fallen off the wagon a few times, Kyle, their son, sticks to it the most.
• He’s a high school athlete.
  • He plays football and soccer.

FITNESS AND NUTRITION FOR KIDS

• The school advises the kids that they can have candy and soda so long as they’re active 30-60 minutes a day.
  • This simply isn’t true.
  • You can’t outrun a bad diet.
  • Is a candy bar a bad diet? Probably not, but kids shouldn’t have these every day.
• Kids can get away with these things, but they’re setting themselves up for failure.
• Jason has had dietitians yell at him, saying Kyle is at risk of ketoacidosis (which is not true).
• If your kids want a hamburger after the game, let them!
• But encourage healthy eating and a healthy relationship with food the rest of the time.
• Vinnie wouldn’t suggest candy bars or chips for athletes who want to be in good shape or more successful.
• Kids don’t need to be in ketosis, but give them lots of red meat!
  • Pork and fish are also up there, or other wild meats.
  • Don’t forget eggs.
  • Protein is great for kids.
• Vinnie would rather teens eat eggs than protein powders.
  • Some whey proteins can be good after a workout or before a game. But get the unflavored kinds!
• Vinnie wouldn’t introduce kids to weights before they were 12.
• Weight-bearing exercises might be okay.
• But DO NOT overwork your kids.
• Kids shouldn’t need Tommy John surgeries in highschool!
• Keep reps high (and therefore weight lighter).
• Kyle is 14, so Vinnie would be comfortable with him doing some limited weight training.
